6. Mosquito repellents

And while you can douse your skin and clothes in mosquito repellent, there are better (not to mention cheaper and more environmentally-friendly) ways of keeping the mozzies away, with gifts from Mother Nature…

There are plenty of plants out there that naturally repel those pesky feasters.

Simply pop them in a pot and place them around the areas you’re most likely to spend time around on a hot summer’s day.

Some of the best natural mosquito-repelling plants include citronella, lemon eucalyptus, rosemary, lemongrass, peppermint, geraniums, verbena, and lavender.
